What should I do if I have axillary odor (body odor)?

When experiencing body odor, the following measures can be taken: 1. Maintain personal hygiene: Bathe frequently, especially after strenuous exercise. Cleanse and change clothing promptly, paying particular attention to the underarm area, to keep it clean and dry. 2. Local treatment: Apply topical medications such as potassium permanganate or 10%-20% aluminum chloride solution to reduce sweat secretion and inhibit bacterial growth. 3. General management: Consider shaving underarm hair to reduce the number of resident bacteria. 4. Surgical treatment: If the above methods are ineffective and the body odor is severe, surgical options such as minimally invasive small-incision odor removal may be considered. This procedure involves cutting the sweat gland ducts or destroying the glands to permanently treat the condition. 5. Dietary adjustment: Maintain a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and irritating foods to reduce sweat production and minimize odor.
